Dear Dr. Laura,
Just to remind you… I am the listener from the Cleveland Orchestra which is on tour again. We are in Vienna, playing in auditoriums that were built in the late 1800s. Since you introduced me to Viktor Frankl, I have read a few books by and about him and his work. As I walk to and from the hotel, auditorium, and restaurants -- I find myself thinking about Frankl in the certainty he had walked this very spot.
Making music is to feed the souls of those who would be fed that way. I find it of a great strength and comfort to be part of a profession that existed centuries before I was born and will hopefully continue in the future with the Flankl-inspired attitude. Many thanks from Vienna to you for introducing these ideas, and daily encouraging a consistently good attitude!!
Also -- we have had a very happy day in our family. My 27-year-old daughter, now a physical therapist, got married to a wonderful man two weeks ago. All is well with this strong and honest and persistent young woman who put her abuser in jail for two years.
Alan
Your "Cleveland Orchestra younger brother"
